Resource Directory

The internet provides a seemingly endless repository of information. This gives you resources on just about any topic imaginable. We know that our Disability Resources list here is far from complete.

However, we have tried to identify several key sites that will help you learn more about disability rights, assistance programs, state and county offices within LIFE’s 20-county service area.

Please check check often as this list will be ever-evolving as new links are located.

Additionally, if you know of a site that is missing and should be included, please visit the Georgia Help page.
